Business Travel Disruptor Showcase
The “DISRUPTOR” Showcase.
Learn about new products and services that could support your programme in our new showcase for buyers only.
Emerging technologies and digital advancements are putting the pressure on today’s corporate travel policy. New solutions and platforms are ‘disrupting’ how we traditionally manage travel - there’s no escaping this!
More than ever, Travel Buyers/Managers need to apply a forward-thinking approach to decision-making. But keeping your travel programme evolving and seamless is a challenge, and it’s difficult to decipher which solutions could benefit you and which are gimmicks.
ITM has put together a one day showcase to help delegates understand more about how Innovators are changing the business travel landscape and what opportunities may exist for your travel programme.
Hear from industry leading disruptors and learn about:
- Their impact on compliance, behaviour, productivity, cost…
- What safeguards are in place to support traveller safety
- How managed adoption impacts data transparency
- And more….
After each presentation there is a Q&A session, to get into the detail that matters to you.
The group will then evaluate and benchmark each presentation and share any first-hand experience/practical insights helping you stay better informed.
Register your place today and discover what you don’t already know about business travel disruptors!
